Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 3 large egg whites Egg Whites
- 1 spray Non-stick Cooking Spray
- 0.25 cup, diced Red Bell Pepper
- 0.5 cup, fresh Spinach
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Green Onion
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh Parsley
Instructions
Crack the egg into a small mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for about 2 minutes until softened.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring until wilted.
Pour the egg and egg white mixture over the vegetables, tilting the skillet to ensure it covers the entire bottom.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and chopped green onion over the top.
As the edges of the omelette start to firm up (after about 2-3 minutes), gently lift them with a spatula and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelette is mostly set, about 4-5 minutes in total, carefully fold it in half using a spatula.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully cooked through.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
